1t is folly to suppose that the viii
lage band may be used as a cats paw,
and picked up any time the citizens
feel unsteady inclined or desire to
add interest to some special occasion.
The fact that it costs time and money
to organize and run aiband is apparent
to all, and if the band is called upon
for their services, some remuneration
ought to be forthcoming.
The Farmers Institute soon to be.
held in Morris is not to be conducted
by kid-glove gentry, but by practical
farmers who are remarkably we'll ad-

make the institute instructive and in

Institutes held in other places speak
in the highest terms of the work ac-
complished and regard them as being
indispensable.
The crops now growingin Minnesota
and the fat sleek appearance of the
stock in the state are the only adj
vertisements needed to induce immi-
grafton. Travelling in the pursuit of
something better or more profitable
is useless because it can not be found.
Northern and western Minnesota
Yields as bountitully as any northern
state and those who can not satisfy
themselves here will be satisfied
nowhere. In no state or territory
does capitol find more ready returns
than here.
Some one has discovered the follow
ing directions for memorizing the
signal service flags, which may prove
very useful: Red, the color of fire,
means amount of heat; blue the color
of the sky, amount of moisture; and
| in each case that figure containing
most surface means most in quantity.
| Thus the red moon means much heat
rising temperature; red star, less
heat-statienery temperature; red
CRESCENT, least heat-lower tempera-
ture. The blue moon is much mois-
| ture-general rain or snow; kl4e star,
less moisture-local rain or snow
| blue star, less moisture-fair weather.

liance organizations, step into th'
